I have already tried contacting my local support staff, and could not get
any help.

Is there any way possible to get a manual on just HOW to use Pine?

Most of us here using Pine are not used to this type of mailing system,
and reading the release notes and updates is like reading Greek!!!  We've
basically been learning by trial and error.  It's nice when you discover
something useful, but if you happen to do something wrong, you can create
your own personal nightmare!!!

I would really appreciate ANY kind of response.  Especially because they
are planning on eliminating our old mailing system, and I would really
like to learn how to use Pine before it's gone.

Thanks for listening to me complain!!!

Pine Information Center:  http://www.washington.edu/pine

Possible, but not very likely to happen. Read the online help in the S(etup)
C(onfig) Screen or have a look at the .pinerc. Everything is explained there
briefly. For Thorough information, turn to the above address. Get the faq,
make sure to read it thouroughly and there shouldn't be any problems.  
  
Cheers,
Robin
